"This is a six-sided lantern (which isn't totally clear from the product photograph or description). It is very good value for money, appearing much like some I bought elsewhere for almost four times the price two years ago. However, this did require more assembly, including fitting the six glass pieces, which took a little time. The finish isn't quite as good as the more expensive ones, but once it's 2.5 metres above the ground, it's impossible to tell the difference. It is a good size and has nice proportions. Highly recommended."

"I have just taken delivery of another two of these, having had several over the past few months. They are perfect for illuminating the area around the garage and at the front and back doors of the house. I give them an extra spray coat of paint before fitting to help slow the onset of aluminium corrosion, and so far they are looking very good. the primary features that I like are the quality combined with the very reasonable price compared to other similar products. that and the superbly quick delivery from Screwfix!"

"Bought 2 lanterns but one of the screws that held the cover in place was faulty, it had not got the thread correct for the pre tapped holes.I installed one and it works well but is tricky as the securing screws are very small and fiddly.

I took the faulty one back and got a refund no problem.

Excellent value for money but a bit fiddly with the size of the fixings.All in all a good buy it looks good and works."

"I bought 3 of these as they were in the sale. A bit fiddley to install but for £9.99 I can put up with that. As other reviewers have said, the screws could be a little longer to secure the faceplate to the back but with a little patience you'll get there. Can't really comment on their reliability as I only put them up a couple of days ago."

"Purchased 4 of these, took some time to build up, easy to fit, just need to remember to tape off the back of the fixing bolts otherwise its difficult to get the mounting nuts to take hold.Good value for money would recommend all."

"Very lightweight metal body and yet proper glass panels. Design seems to assume cable entry from the rear or below - if your cable is coming from above, which is quite probable, you may have to make adjustments so that the item will sit flush against the wall. The cable grommet was very loose fitting, which caused me some difficulty, as it kept pushing through and detaching. Above niggles aside, this is very good value and looks good once installed."

"At a tenner I don't really think there's any room to complain about this item - but there are a couple of things to point out.The first is that the black finish can be a bit hit & miss and seems easy to peel off which will eventually lead to corrosion as the aluminium underneath gets exposed to moisture.The second is that if you are running your feed cable into the unit from along the wall (rather then directly through a hole behind it, for example) then you need to create an access hole at the bottom of the mount cover to allow the cable to enter. Easy to do as the metal is quite brittle but it's not made obvious or mentioned in the fitting instructions.

"These lights are terrific value. However they were rather flimsy. The main problem was that they have a screw fixing for the bulb and we wanted bayonet fixing to match in with the bulbs we already have. It did not say on the description that they were a screw fitting."

"I have just spent about two hours fitting athis replacement porch lamp. it is nicely dEsigned except that the captive nuts behind the wall plate need to be held with more than masking tape - perhaps bluetak. This caused me to strip the thread in the minuscule brass nuts holding the fitting to the wall plate. -whey not a sensible size. Others have observed the glass fitting is haphazard but takes AGES. Fitting the lantern to the lamp holder requires yet more teeny weeny bolts and nuts and one is at the back masked by the bracket. Good grief!! Did the designer ever build one.All that said, I like the look of it. Be warned it will cost you three times longer than you think to install and have a supply of small nuts to hand. I hope the bulb really does last 10000 hours :)I'll look for a different lamp next time. Competent DIYEr"

"lampholder at top at last: but then you block up the bottom so it still can't illuminate what's beneath! Please get back to making sensible lanterns with open bottoms so that we can light the ground rather than the street. For now, these are cheap enough to buy and cut the bottom off, but..."
